Teaching Reading to Black Adolescent Males: Closing the Achievement Gap
The race and gender achievement gap in literacy is one of the most difficult issues in education today. Providing a firsthand perspective, Alfred Tatum brings together his various experiences as a black male student, a middle school teacher working with struggling black male readers, a reading specialist in an urban elementary school, and a staff developer in classrooms across the nation to offer insights on ways teachers and schools can reconceptualize literacy instruction for those who need it most.

How to Dazzle at Reading
The activities in How to Dazzle at Reading will help pupils to: understand and use a variety of decoding techniques; discriminate between sounds in words; learn letters and letter combinations; and read words by sounding out and blending the sounds. The pupils practice: identifying the sounds they hear at the start and end of specified words; the sounds of short and long vowels; identifying which words have a short 'oo' and which words have a long 'oo'; identifying words which rhyme with a specified word; filling in gaps in sentences and paragraphs; changing the meaning of a word by changing its 'end' sound; splitting up compound words into their components; and scanning texts.

Triangles of Light: The Edward Hopper Poems
Conjuring the voice of Edward Hopper, this powerful collection of poetry investigates the mind of an iconic American painter. Lyrical and beautifully crafted, the poems convey both frightening and amusing messages as "Hopper" commentates on his own paintings - from the iconic Nighthawks to his depiction of his wife and himself taking a final bow in Two Comedians - as well as those of other artists. Shocking in their honesty, these poems also provide a window into the American Modernist period due to their biographical nature and evaluations of the visual arts.
